This book is a phenomenological investigation of the interrelations
of tradition, memory, place and the body. Drawing upon philosophers
such as Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Gadamer, and Ricoeur,
Janet Donohoe uses the idea of a palimpsest to argue that layers of
the past are carried along as traditions, through places and
bodies, such that we can speak of memory as being written upon
place and place as being written upon memory. She engages in
ongoing discussions about the importance of place in dialogue with
theorists such as Jeff Malpas and Ed Casey, and focuses on analysis
of monuments and memorials to investigate how such deliberate
places of collective memory can be ideological, or can open us to
the past and different traditions. Remembering Places: A
Phenomenological Study of the Relationship between Memory and Place
appeals to the common experiences in which we return to places of
memory and discovering that those places, and memories, have
changed. Such concrete examples make it possible to discover how
traditions can span generations while still allowing for openness
to the new, and describing how places of memory call us to take up,
but also critique, our traditions."
